This recipe for Sexy Apples is much more than a quick and easy way to start the day; it’s a compilation of ingredients that support a healthy libido.
Apple skin contains phloridzin, which improves vaginal lubrication and increases blood flow to the female sex organs. Saffron has two active ingredients, crocin and safranal, linked to improved mood, arousal, and lubrication. And Fenugreek seeds increase the level of estradiol, a female sex hormone that increases blood flow to the genital area.
Sex-boosting benefits aside, this is a quick and nutritious recipe that energizes deliciously.
